Design

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

In GTA San Andreas, the Slamvan resembles a heavily customized second generation Chevrolet GMC C/K with a chopped roof and custom suspension, while the front of the vehicle is similar to the Dodge Sidewinder (with the exception of the headlights). Naturally, it is a two door and can only seat two people. Sometimes the Slamvan will spawn with a custom chain steering wheel.

In the beta version, the Slamvan had a different wheel design and paint job not seen in the final version.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The Slamvan is quite nimble and comfortable to drive due to its supercharged V8 and upgraded suspension. It possesses good acceleration and average top speed. Its brakes are also strong, being capable of quickly stopping from top speed to zero; its downsides however, is the arguably poor durability and stability, and despite its low height, it can still rollover easily.

Grand Theft Auto V

The Slamvan has a customized V8 with 4 double-barrel carburetors, which sounds similar to the Duke O'Death, The Liberator, and Marshall. In-game stat bars and testing has shown it has the same performance as the Rat-Loader and its clean variant, the Rat-Truck. Thus, it has average acceleration and top speed, matched with very poor brakes and traction. The Lost Slamvan features similar engine as the pick-up variant but has an improved acceleration. Traction is also enhanced and braking is strengthened.
